Benjamin's Field: Recovery has been honored a five-star review by the literary site 'Reader's Favorite' (readersfavorite.com). The entire year is 1918 and the globe is mired in the 'Great Conflict.' Benjamin Kyner, an unhealthy farmer from rural Pennsylvania who's reeling from a father's worst nightmare, discovers his son's fiancé, Eleanor, has given birth to their impaired child and has been disowned by her parents. Amid the turmoil of warfare and a world ravaged by the worst epidemic because the Dark colored Plague, Benjamin sees himself crippled by his own self-doubt as he challenges with the mind-boggling implications of acknowledging Eleanor and his impaired grandchild. If he fails, he'll lose his previous staying chance at contentment. Fighting for Eleanor are Father Adam Templeman, who, torn between his humanity and his Church, is struggling with a tragic secret, and Randy Bridgewater, a playboy-turned-fighter pilot, who's sinking in to the depths of alcoholism as he fights his own demons of guilt. In the background is Hiram Bolt, Benjamin's mild farmhand, descended from slaves, who aims to hold them all together in a world that has seen much too much pain and hurting. The "Benjamin's Field" trilogy uses a family over the course of 60 years through warfare, serenity, triumph, tragedy, heartbreak, and final contentment from the viewpoint of its youngest member, Jeremy Kyner. More a philosophical treatment of the human condition when compared to a mere fictional story, the "Benjamin's Field" trilogy can be an interwoven tapestry of parables that explore various aspects of human existence, such as the role of family loyalty versus specific need, personal liberty and how it relates to society's demands, religious prejudice, racism, intolerance, the role of charity, and the mind-boggling dependence on humans to forgive one another.
